Automated Approach for the Importing the New Photo Set to Private Photo Album to Make It More Searchable УДК 004.855 DOI: 10.18523/2617-3808.2020.3.141-148 D. Nikulin, O. Buchko AUTOMATED APPROACH FOR THE IMPORTING THE NEW PHOTO SET TO PRIVATE PHOTO ALBUM TO MAKE IT MORE SEARCHABLE This paper focuses on describing several Informational Retrieval (IR) Multimedia Systems that work primarily with private photo albums and it provides comparison of IR Multimedia Systems in terms of functionality. The Informational Retrieval Multimedia systems, used for comparison are selected as the most known and widely used as well. The Informational Retrieval Multimedia systems compared are Mylio, Google Photo, Apple Photo, Synology Moments and digiKam. Moreover, based on these systems compari- son, this paper provides the definition of the end-point user needs. Then it provides the identification and the prioritization (based on the author’s experience and opinion) the issues in private information Retrieval multimedia systems to be addressed by any technical solution. The following issues have been addressed as the most important from the end-point user’s perspective: First of all, it is “Not existing EXIF file metada- ta”.(It is divided into two sub issues: not existing taken date and GEO data for place it was taken at); as second, the linking a photo to an author person entity (Based on camera brand and model given as metadata); And as the last one, linking the set of photos to the predefined type of event, like birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, trips etc.(Based on tagging the photos in semi-automated way). For each issue, this document has provided the technical approaches and program algorithms (in a pseudo code) as well. Also, the using of relevant tools is provided if applicable. Each tool mentioned is described in a few words and given with a reference to read about. This document has also described the human in- volvement into the process, if a totally automated process is not possible. As a conclusion this paper describes the key points that were identified during the identification and addressing the issues. The conclusion also gives a proposal for a technical solution (that is required to be used during importing the new photo set into existing IR Multimedia systems) with context diagram that represents the user, its devices with multimedia data, the system to import the data from user multimedia devices and Informational Retrieval multimedia system to keep the whole private multimedia and to search the target photo set. Finally, it gives the definition of workflow steps to describe the main activity flow (with human involvement and software as well) to be implemented in a technical solution in future. Keywords: IR Multimedia Systems, Metadata, Photo Album. Definition of the user needs Ordinary people also might be interested in such in Multimedia IR systems kind of engines.

Overview and comparison of the private Multimedia IR systems This chapter provides an overview and compari- son of several private Multimedia IR systems. There are photo organizers that provide the functions similar to private Multimedia IR sys- tems. Therefore, they are chosen as a subject for the overview and comparison. They currently per- form the search in photo set by organizing the photos based on their date, location, categories, etc. They suggest to create a folder structure and put the files on it. The folder name can be some- thing like Date_Shoot-Type_Event Name. It can also include a location or any other information the user wants. In such a way the user can create subfolders based on the number of photographers or cameras. The idea is to avoid photos having the same file name in the folder [5]. This [5] provides the list of Photo Organizer for professional pho- tographer and those organizers can be used by a Figure 1. Photo file properties/attributes usual user with a big photo album.

HIPerSpace offers 35,840 x 8,000 pixels resolution (287 megapixels) on 31.8 feet wide and 7.5 feet tall display wall made from 70 30‐inch monitors. 2/40 INTRODUCTION The description of joint NEH/NSF Digging into Data competition (2009) organized by Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment of Humanities (the U.S. federal agency which funds humanities research) opened with these questions: “How does the notion of scale affect humanities and social science research? Now that scholars have access to huge repositories of digitized data— far more than they could read in a lifetime—what does that mean for research?” A year, later, an article in New York Time (November 16, 2010) stated: “The next big idea in language, history and the arts? Data.” While digitized archives of historical documents certainly represent a jump in scale in comparison to traditionally small corpora used by humanists, researchers and critics interested in contemporary culture have even a larger challenge. With the notable exception of Google Books, the size of digital historical archives pales in comparison to the quantity of digital media created by contemporary cultural producers and users – designs, motion graphics, web sites, blogs, YouTube videos, Flickr photos, Facebook postings, Twitter messages, and other kinds of professional and participatory media.

  • FACIAL DETECTION SYSTEM (Using MATLAB) Anjali Vats, R.K Bhatnagar, Shikha Vats, Antara Sarkar and Ankit
    www.ijecs.in International Journal Of Engineering And Computer Science ISSN:2319-7242 Volume 03 Issue 07 July, 2014 Page No. 7018-7031 FACIAL DETECTION SYSTEM (Using MATLAB) Anjali Vats, R.K Bhatnagar, Shikha Vats, Antara Sarkar and Ankit Hmr Institute Of Technology & Management, Hamidpur CSE, KIIT College of Engineering (Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University) INRODUCTION The face is our primary focus of attention in social life playing an important role in conveying identity and emotions. We can recognize a number of faces learned throughout our lifespan and identify faces at a glance even after years of separation. This skill is quite robust despite of large variations in visual stimulus due to changing condition, aging and distractions such as beard, glasses or changes in hairstyle. Face detection is used in many places now a days especially the websites hosting images like picassa, photobucket and facebook. The automatically tagging feature adds a new dimension to sharing pictures among the people who are in the picture and also gives the idea to other people about who the person is in the image. In our project, we have studied and implemented a pretty simple but very effective face detection algorithm which takes human skin colour into account. Our aim, which we believe we have reached, was to develop a method of face detection that is fast, robust, reasonably simple and accurate with a relatively simple and easy to understand algorithms and techniques. The examples provided in this thesis are real-time and taken from our own surroundings. FACE DETECTION Face detection can be regarded as a specific case of object-class detection.
